Product details

This is a line-protection breaker — not a motor-protection device — sized for feeder or main breaker duty in distribution panels. Its interrupting ratings tell the real story: 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. The ETU560 provides LSIG (long-time, short-time, instantaneous, ground-fault) protection; ground-fault sensing uses summation current on L+N conductors.

The UVR coil must be energized for the breaker to close — a standard safety interlock for emergency-stop circuits. IP40 protection on the front means the breaker is touch-safe against tools and wires but not sealed against dust ingress — suitable for indoor panel mounting only. Current derating is needed above 55 °C: 240.625 A at 55 °C, 231.25 A at 60 °C, 221.875 A at 65 °C, and 212.5 A at 70 °C.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2225-7JQ42-0DC0 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced through independent distribution and quoted to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What are the key ratings of 3VA2225-7JQ42-0DC0?

Rated continuous current 250 A, 4 poles, ETU560 electronic trip unit, interrupting capacity 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V, 4.5 kA at 690 V, rated insulation voltage 800 V.

Will 3VA2225-7JQ42-0DC0 fit in a panel designed for 3VA2225-5HN42-0BB0?

Both are 4-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same 140 mm width footprint, so mechanical fit is the same. However, the trip unit and accessories differ — verify the auxiliary release and ground-fault configuration match your wiring before substitution.

What compliance documentation is available for this breaker?

As a current-production SENTRON MCCB, it carries IEC/EN 60947-2 certification. RoHS and REACH compliance declarations are standard from Siemens. Specific UL/CSA listing status should be confirmed against the exact order code and voltage rating at quote time.
